In the house circuit, all the electric appliances are connected in parallel between mainline and neutral line appliances will have.
Correct answer: D. Same potential difference
- A. Same current
- B. Same power
- C. Different potential and same current
- D. Same potential difference
Explanation
In a parallel circuit, each appliance is connected directly to the main line and the neutral line, creating individual pathways for the current to flow. As a result, the potential difference across each appliance is the same, regardless of the appliance's resistance or power rating.

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
